Video entertainment for all

Watch your favorite DVDs on the built-in screen whenever you're parked, or add an external screen and wireless headphones so your passengers in the back can watch movies while you drive. You can activate dual-zone mode to listen to music or news up front, while they enjoy a DVD with headphones in the back.

Ready to play your music

Load up a USB thumb drive or a recordable CD or DVD with MP3, WMA, and AAC files for hours of listening enjoyment. The KVT-516 displays tag information contained in your files, easy to see with a quick glance at the large screen. And of course you can play your regular store-bought CDs as well. Add an HD Radio™ tuner for enhanced sound quality from participating AM and FM stations.

Add Kenwood's iPod adapter to control and play the music from your iPod in your car. Kenwood's intuitive menu lets you navigate through your playlists and albums with ease, and you'll see your album cover art on the screen. When you're parked, you can even view videos stored on your iPod.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the receiver, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

DVD receivers: They're not just for movies

DVD receivers add a new level of entertainment to your vehicle. You can watch a movie on the screen when you're parked on a Saturday night, or play a DVD through your rear seat video setup on the road. Touchscreen receivers allow you to breeze through menus with the tip of your finger. Most DVD receivers feature a USB input for audio from your iPod, and the ability to add an adapter that allows video to display on the screen. Some receivers even offer connections for a center speaker and a subwoofer, so you can build a full-fledged theater in your car, just like at home.

It's pretty good, but it has absolutely no right to be so expensive. Right out of the box, on its own, it's just a car stereo with a touchscreen display. To make the most of it, you have to buy the bluetooth module, the satellite radio module, the ipod connector, and the GPS controller. Altogether that makes this way over a thousand dollars. On top of that, it requires an ENORMOUS amount of space behind the dash if you're going to be jamming all of the accessories in there.

Save your money. Buying something more expensive with more features would actually save you the money required to get the most out of this one.

Pros:Sounds very good.
Touchscreen ipod controls are great.
Touchscreen is very responsive in general.

Cons:Randomly forgets the position it's supposed to be set to.
Build quality isn't great - sometimes it induces some strange interference or doesn't start for no reason.
Accessories are extremely expensive.
Kind of useless without the accessories.

Kenwood KVT-516

I've only had this in my car for a little over a year and I am already looking for something else. The interface is awkward - not intuitive. The slide out screen is goofy and vibrates all over with bumps in the road. It also randomly switches between Sirius and FM for no apparent reason.

Decent but old..

Purchased this so I could play dvds for the kids on long trips. Wish I didn't.... And I can say that I "was" a kenwood fan, this deck ruined that.

Pros:Easy to install if you know what your doing.
Easy to setup and use
All the inputs/outputs anyone would ever need

Cons:Instruction manual is so complicated it has instructions on how to read it... ?
Install manual is not complete, if you don't know what a wire is, DONT hook it up
Ugly interface, screen open or closed it looks like its a 50$ piece of junk from the early 90s
Almost no iphone compatibility, works ok with ipod.
Too many more to list here.

Info on it was ambiguous, little disappointed...

Overall a nice receiver with a ton of options..

Pros:A million options

Cons:Says iPhone support... But after getting it installed, found out it doesn't really support the iPhone 4 and 4s. Nor do I hear of any plans to. Considering how popular these phones are, and the unit is still be sold new in many places (with no successor model), it really is a shame.. No app streaming video will show on the display. YouTube, etc. only stuff in itunes on the phone...
Also, the menu system is pretty hard to get used to.. Not very intuitive.

My second kenwood DVD receiver

Well i have only had the receiver hooked up in my car for two days so far. I definitely do not like the fact that i am not able to view dvds while driving. That's one of the main reasons i bought this unit. If you just start testing out some of the icons on the screen it is fairly easy to navigate and i do enjoy the different screen angles which should fit just about anyone's preference. I guess i need to read the manual that i printed out since it wasn't included(refurbished item) to figure out how to set the radio stations. Only one complaint with the unit and that is that when closed i wish there was at least a little small display that indicated the time.

Pros:big screen
easy of navigation through different features
motorized screen
kenwood brand!

Finally, Expectations Exceeded!

1.) Excellent customer service - replaced a Clarion NZ500 that was cutting out the R channel among other things - Crutchfield gave me full credit honoring the 1 year warranty and I had this unit for 1 year almost to the day. 2.) Not going to waste time or words bashing the Clarion - however, Crutchfield does not carry the NZ 500, nor its newer version the NZ501 - so you decide...it was nice in concept, BT and NAV built in, Ipod Sirius ready, etc. ok sound 3.) The KVT-516 now let's me hear what I've been missing! The head unit has more power than the Clarion (installed in a 2006 Jeep Liberty with the Infinity sound system, so i did not add an amp as this system has amps integrated in the front speakers). The power is clean & the equalizer options are plentiful and have allowed me to customize the sound to my ear. 4.) I was able to utilize the Sirius tuner and Axxess steering wheel controls I had from the Clarion installation 5.) I had to add the separate modules to gain back NAV and BT (KCA-BT300 and KNA-G610) 6.) Ipod cable (KCA-IP302) and HU interface works smoothly with my Ipod Nanos (2 gen and 4th gen) 7.) I can finally see this LCD screen even in direct sunlight - a major issue with the Clarion 8.) can set LCD screen angle & how far out it deploys from the dash - nice to be able to adjust this to fit the contour of the dash & viewing angle 9.) best feature - automatically open when the car is turned on & automatically close when the car is turned off

Pros:HU power, NAV and BT modules work flawlessly. Sirius tuner and Axxess SWC work seamlessly. Ipod interface is top-notch. Auto turn on and off, seeing the screen in bright daylight and direct sunlight. Crutchfield Tech support - as usual - top notch - when I had wiring harness questions. They make it easy!

Cons:Total expense with add-on modules (shop around for best price on these). Also, be aware that with these modules, the Sirius tuner, the Axxess SWC - you need lots of room behind the dash to mount these - panel below jeep steering wheel worked great for this for me - so plan your install before you begin wiring.

Kenwood KVT-516

at this time a really nice piece of equipment,great sound and for being refurbished you can not tell.the features are awesome,yes i would buy this again from crutchfield,it comes with the harness and all the accesories.A++++++++++

Spectacular HU

Just installed this unit in my wife's `06 Jeep Liberty last weekend and, wow. This thing is incredibly impressive. The touchscreen is very responsive, the menus move quickly, and the ability to expand with nav, sat radio, steering wheel controls, etc. makes this head unit worth every penny.

Product Research

Display Features

Motorized Touchscreen Display: The Kenwood KVT-516 features a
motorized-retractable 6.96" wide, 16:9 touchscreen display with a TFT active
matrix system. The screen has a resolution of 480 x 234 with 336,960 total pixels
(480H x 234V x RGB). This unit has touch screen controls with interactive video
graphics, making menu navigation easy. The unit has a front-loading disc-slot to
make loading your disc easier, so you don't have to extract or retract the monitor
every time you want to load a disc.

Z-Action Mechanism: This exclusive mechanism allows the display to
automatically slide out, rise to your ideal viewing angle (8 presets) and then retract
horizontally to your chosen viewing distance (4 presets) - all in a distinctive Z-shaped
motion. The unique Z-Action mechanism allows installation in a wider range of vehicles
and as it uses a belt-drive system it increases reliability substantially from similar
products using gear driven monitor designs.

Auto Open/Close: When this feature is active, the display
automatically opens when the unit is turned on and closes when the unit is
turned off.

Switchable Panel Displays: You can adjust the head unit's
panel color from the following preset colors - Blue, Purple, Sky Blue, Aqua Blue,
Yellow, Green, Amber, Red, Pink, White or Scan (Scans through all preset colors).
You can also select three custom user colors that are adjusted between Red, Green,
and Blue values from 0-31 each. In addition, you can download still images for use
as the unit's background from a connected USB thumbdrive.

Selectable Screen Viewing Modes: You can choose from the
following screen modes for DVD, Video, iPod, USB and Rear-camera playback:

Full: expands 4:3 pictures horizontally
to fill the entire width of the screen, distorting the
picture slightly but retaining full image height

Justify: expands 4:3 pictures
horizontally only at the edges

Zoom: expands 4:3 pictures both
horizontally and vertically, filling the screen without
distorting the picture but cutting off the top and bottom
edges

Front Panel Controls With Dual Illumination: In
addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons
along the front lower panel of the unit. You can change the button illumination
to Green or Red.

Dimmer: The dimmer function will dim this unit's display automatically
when the vehicle light switch is turned On when you connect orange/white
Illumination wire of this player's harness.

Parking Brake Detection: To
prevent the displaying of video while the vehicle is in motion, the light green wire
in the supplied 22-pin harness must be connected to the vehicle's parking brake detection
circuit. While the vehicle is in
motion (parking brake off), you can still view all of the other displays and
menus.

Security Indicator: The Security Indicator feature helps to protect
the Kenwood KVT-516 against theft. Turning this function "On" allows the security
indicator light on the front-panel of the head unit to flash when your vehicle's
ignition is off.

Audio Section

24-Bit D-A Converter: For superb quality audio playback from
DVDs, CDs, and USB media, the KVT-516 is equipped with a 24-bit digital-to-analog
converter.

MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood KVT-516 is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the
KVT-516 are as follows:

Speaker Type Setting: This feature tailors the System Q EX
Sound Control settings according to the type of front speakers in your vehicle.
You may select Standard (for speakers with a general diameter), Narrow (for
speakers with a small diameter), Middle (for speakers with a medium diameter),
or Wide (for speakers with a large diameter).

System Q EX Sound Control: Eight EQ curves are preset into
memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of
music. The preset curves are named Natural, Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz,
Flat, and User (you may store your own settings under the User Memory EQ curve).
Each preset has its own adjustment for the bass center frequency (40, 50, 60,
70, 80, 100, 120, or 150Hz), bass level (-8 to +8), bass Q factor (1.00, 1.25,
1.50 or 2.00), bass extension (On or Off), middle center frequency (500Hz,
1.0kHz, 1.5 or 2.0kHz), middle level (-8 to +8), middle Q factor (1.0 or 2.0),
treble center frequency (10.0, 12.5, 15.0 or 17.5kHz), and treble level (-8 to
+8). The System Q EX can be turned off in the menu, still allowing you to adjust
the bass (100Hz), middle (1kHz), and treble (10kHz) levels only from +/-8dB.

System E's+ Advanced Crossover System: The System E's+
Advanced Crossover system allows you to tailor your system with selectable
crossover points for all channels. For the front and rear channels (using either
speaker level or preamp output), there is a high-pass filter with independently
selectable crossover points of 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz, 180Hz,
220Hz or Through (no filter). The non-fading subwoofer preamp output provides a
low-pass crossover filter (40/60/80/100/120/150/180/220Hz), phase
(normal/reverse), and independent volume control (-50 to +10).

Dynamic Range: The dynamic range can be adjusted by
selecting either Normal, Wide or Dialog. Dialog makes the total sound volume
become larger as compared with Wide and Normal, allowing you to listen to the
movie's dialogue more clearly. This is effective only on Dolby Digital software.

Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for low and high
tones during low volume. You can turn this feature either on or off. Only the
low tone is compensated for when the tuner is selected as a source.

Volume Offset Control: The level of each source may be
independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching
from one source to another. The available settings range from -15 to 0.

Setup Memory: Audio Control, AV-IN Setup, AV Interface,
Navigation, and Audio Setup settings can be memorized and recalled at any time.
When the settings are cleared when the unit is disconnected from the battery,
they can be restored.

Dual Zone Capability: The unit's dual zone control allows
you to independently set the source for the front and rear channels. You can set
the front channels to Tuner, Sirius, XM, DVD, Video, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, ,
Navigation or Standby. You can use the rear channels to DVD, Video, iPod, USB, or
Off. You can adjust the volume of the 2nd Zone independently from 0 to 35.

Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to
confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

Radio Functions

CR-2 Tuner: The KVT-516 uses Kenwood's CR-2 tuner provides
high signal strength for clear radio reception. The tuner features the Clean
Reception System Circuit (CRSC) for improved rejection of distortion due to
multi-path. You can choose one of three tuning modes: Auto 1 (seek tuning),
Auto 2 (cycles through and tunes the selected band's preset stations only with
each button press), or Manual.

Radio Data System (RDS): The unit's tuner features RDS (Radio
Data System). RDS is a service used by some radio stations to transmit data outside
of normal radio broadcast signals. When an RDS station is received, you can immediately
find out what kind of data is being transmitted by looking at the program service name
which appears in the display after the frequency. RDS features an emergency transmission
function which interrupts regular programming to broadcast an emergency announcement
(such as a tornado or severe storm). There is also a switchable Traffic Information
function, which will automatically tune a traffic bulletin when it is broadcast, even
when you're not listening to the radio.

Station Name Preset (SNPS): This feature allows you to assign
names to radio stations. Up to 24 AM and FM stations can be named. Each name can
be up to 16 characters in length. The Preset Select menu will display the six presets
in each band either by name or frequency.

Disc Playback

AAC/MP3/WMA Playback: This unit can play AAC (16-320 kbps),
MP3 (16-320 kbps) and WMA (48-192 kbps) files recorded on CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW
and DVD+/-R/W discs in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo and Long file name
formats. Each disc should have a maximum of 8 directory levels, 254 folders per
